Weeks 1 and 2 - some Small Finds

 
Week 1.
Small Find 1504
From context 2350
This bronze pin, measuring approximately 6cm long was found during the first few days of the 2000 season. It was discovered in the north-west corner of the trench during the general cleaning of the site which takes place at the beginning of every season. This means that the pin cannot be assigned to a particular feature, only to the site in general but it is interesting because it is complete and in such excellent condition.
